Question 1 Report
A coastal hotel association in Gwadar is designing a code for visitors and businesses. The area has beaches, fishing communities and sensitive marine habitats, but rapid construction could increase sewage, litter and water demand. The association wants tourism income to remain important without damaging the natural resources on which visitors depend.
(a) State one type of infrastructure needed to prevent sewage entering the sea. [1]
(b) Explain two ways local people can gain from carefully managed tourism. [2]
(c) Assess whether limiting visitor numbers at sensitive sites is justified. Give two reasons for your answer. [3]
Answer Details
(a) Sewage-treatment plant / wastewater-treatment system [1]. (b) Any two: jobs in accommodation, guiding, transport or food services [1]; local crafts and fish products can be sold [1]; income may support community facilities [1]; training can improve skills [1]. (c) It is justified because fewer visitors reduce litter, erosion and disturbance to wildlife [1], and protect the attraction for future tourism income [1]; however, limits should be managed fairly because they may reduce short-term earnings for local businesses [1].
